Call for THz Contributions Jan 2008 Call for THz Contributions Rick Roberts, Intel

doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> Jan 2008 IEEE802.15 TeraHertz Interest Group is putting out a call for contributions in the area of TeraHertz communications. Of particular interest are contributions discussing any of the following (or similar) topics: What communications applications might use THz? What technology would address THz? how are transmitters and receivers realized? What is the coverage range and possible bit rates? What is the regulatory status? When is this going to happen in the market? Will there be a standards effort and when? What is the current research status? Who is doing the research? Coexistence with imaging and other existing THz technologies. To include the identification of existing and emerging non-communication THz applications Rick Roberts, Intel <author>, <company>
